About this book

St. Ives, by Robert Louis Stevenson, is subtitled Being the Adventures of a French Prisoner in England. The narrator says he put his heart into the carving of some letters, because the initials would at least suggest to her his noble birth. Days and weeks go by in the narrator's waiting, and at last he sees her approach in the company of a boy about her own age.

A character introduces the boy as her brother, Mr. Ronald Gilchrist, and says she has told him of the narrator's sufferings. The narrator also describes seeing from the inn-windows a man-servant passing in the livery of his house, which he had never before seen worn, or not that he could remember. A character addressed as Ronald says that any man who is so unfortunate as to have such things said about him is not the man to be his brother-in-law.
